Doesn't OSX 10.5 have time machine which does this by default?

I'm still on 10.4 because I'm elite, and I'm not a fan of having issues with music apps. Some day I'll upgrade.

Superduper is great though.

Time machine will backup your data, sure, but the other apps will let you create a bootable disk image. This is more along the lines of what Ghost does.
